...several scripts a week, and of the half a dozen he is considering, only one, Mazursky's proposed sequel to Moscow on the Hudson, seems surefire commercially. Williams' next movie, Toys, a surreal comedy about a general who takes over a toy company, is to be directed by Barry Levinson, who directed Good Morning, Vietnam. Williams is also talking with director Bill Forsyth about starring in Becoming Human, a series of sketches about evolution; and with Oliver Stone about playing assassinated gay politician Harvey Milk in Mayor of Castro Street. Some comedies, some full-bore dramas, some possible box-office...
Director Barry Levinson, who has been known to place a sentimental scrim over the past, avoids the temptation here. He envisions old-time Hollywood as sleek, hard and distracted by its own overnight success. The whole town acts like an overhandsome star -- rather like Bugsy's friend George Raft (whom Joe Mantegna plays a little too kindly in the film) -- a dumb guy who thinks his prosperity proves that he's smart...
...Bugsy set, the lovers were so discreet that director Barry Levinson swears he was unaware of their relationship. Says Beatty: "We didn't want to place a burden on the people we were working with."

Santo Pietro's is a half mile away, and it is no routine Italian joint. The Beverly Glen Centre has perhaps the greatest celebrity concentration in town. Beatty is a regular, as is Jack Nicholson...
...hours John Hsu and I put into trying to increase campus security and organizing the Freshman Concentration Fair (an enormous success for the UC and the roughly 500 freshmen who attended, which the Crimson deigned not to mention), the dozens of hours Malcolm Heinecke put into organizing the Levinson Award Dinner, the effort and time David Duncan, Rob Rhew, Hillary Anger, the entire finance committee (I could go on and list every single UC member) spent on their projects, I really regret how difficult it is for Harvard's student government to publicize all it accomplishes. We do publish...
...glut of lawyers, as Quayle pointed out, is a peculiarly American phenomenon. The standard defense is offered by Vanderbilt Law School professor Harold Levinson, who says, "We ask more of our legal system, perhaps more than any other country in the world." True, the courts have a broad mandate in everything from the environment to civil rights, but blaming the legal system for the nation's disproportionate number of lawyers is a somewhat circular argument...
